This collection examines the nerd and/or geek stereotype in popular
culture today. Utilizing the media-film, TV, YouTube, Twitter,
fiction-that often defines daily lives, the contributors
interrogate what it means to be labeled a "nerd" or "geek." While
the nerd/geek that is so easily recognized now is assuredly a
twenty-first century construct, an examination of the terms'
history brings a greater understanding of their evolution. From
sports to slasher films, Age of the Geek establishes a dialogue
with texts as varied as the depictions of "nerd" or "geek"
stereotypes.
